Supreme Commander Sundays - 8/31

[Eschatos]

Today is another night of SUPREME COMMANDER!  We've chosen to use the Forged Alliance expansion, and if you don't have it by now you are fail.  Personally I don't know if I'll be there.  I might be too busy playing Mercenaries 2.  If you plan to be there, leave yer name in the comments, etc. etc. etc.

[Mission Difficult]

I'm playing Mercs 2, screw supcom.

Nevermind. None of my local stores have the PC version in stock. RA for me!

Goddamn sons of bitches.  PC version of Mercs 2 isn't out until the 3rd.  Somehow they forgot to mention that on their website.

[Mission Difficult]

Yeah, fucking lame. I called Gamestop and asked if they had it for pc. The jerk said yes, I go down there, "We don't have it for PC, blah blah blah."

Wow, I seriously thought that trailer was a parody for a while. It was terrible! After reading the site though, I realized the whole game is basically a parody with hilarious camp like the dolphin unit, and now I really want to play it! Gameplay wise, is the CandC series any good? I'm not a huge fan of RTSs, but if it's free, why not download it?

[/quote]The two C&Cs i've played (Red Alert and the original) were both fun, if not as deep or as pretty as most modern RTSs.  I enjoy them though because they require minimal resource management, i.e. just money and building power.  Plus the soundtrack is kickass

Lack of depth is a plus for me , as is minimal resource management.  Sounds like something I'd like then
